In this episode of Rainbow Voices, Thea speaks with Sára Johanovská about living with alopecia, losing hair as a teenager, and what parents can do when their child is diagnosed with alopecia areata.

Sára shares the moment she woke up to hair on her pillow, how her family responded, and how school support helped protect her. We talk about bullying, privacy, confidence, shaving your head, wigs and headscarves, stress and autoimmune flare ups, and how to help a child feel in control of their own story.

We also explore the meaning behind the audiobook tale The Scratching Scepter, a princess story inspired by Sára’s lived experience. This episode is for parents, caregivers, and teens looking for real guidance, emotional support, and practical next steps.
